Bedlington terriernoun · 19th century

Well attested

It is groomed to look like a lamb and was bred to kill things underground.

Miners around the Northumberland pit village of Bedlington kept these dogs for vermin and poaching, and the village name attached to the type in the 1820s. The lamb-like trim is a show ring convention; working Bedlingtons were kept a good deal plainer.
